jaylectricity:What a horrible, nonsensical, useless anecdote. I thought the old man was going to be fighting with TSA. Instead he kinda has no idea what's going on anymore.

Lauren Ritchie is a universally hated Sentinel "columnist". Her writing is horrible and very opinionated -- embarrassing to read at times. If her Father really acts like this (wouldn't put it past her to be making most of this up), I can see why she's suck a hack.

My computer guy wore something from here on his way to NYC. He's 6'8" and 320lbs.. He 'accidentially' stumbled and fell on top of a TSA agent. He said he was never sure if the people behind him were laughing at him or the TSA agent. Noone seemed upset at the delay.

Just remember. Old people have nothing to lose and they get an immense amount of joy out of farking with bureaucratic assholes. And WW2 vets who were in combat even more so. They are a national treasure.

All that excess skin could hide a lot of C4 and the pacemaker could be used as a detonator.All it takes to program them to blow up a plane is hacking into their television set and sending them an altered version of 'Fox and friends'.

Jesus fark. I'm a below-knee amputee, with a titanium rod in my femur. Other countries don't fark with me at all other than a hand metal detector that they ignore and don't investigate further. But even two weeks ago, I didn't even get an explosive swab or body scan at LAX. The overzealousness is definitely getting much better.

I've been screwed with quite a bit before, even argued with because I refused the body scanner knowing I was going to secondary anyway. Not in the last several flights in the last few months, though.

/if you know you'll set off the metal detector, know you'll get another inspection//that's only been the case for at least thirty years///old people could obviously never have any ill will *Cough*Tea*Cough*

But that's not what happens here. He's just being a dickhead to the dozens to hundreds of innocent passengers behind him.

This, and all he did in the war was to pick something up and hand it to the next guy. He likely never fired a shot after basic, once they figured out he was a terrible shot.
